WW1 Canadian CEF Putties

The WW1 Canadian CEF Putties are replicas of the original gaiters worn by the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) during the First World War. They are made from high-quality, durable khaki wool that is designed to hold up under rigorous conditions. Historically, soldiers used putties to secure their trousers in place and protect their legs from harsh terrain and weather conditions. These reproductions are cut long and wide, mimicking the original design and allowing for a traditional wrap-and-tuck around the calf, typically extending from the ankle to just below the knee. In the context of historical reenactment or academical study, they provide an authentic representation of the standard-issue CEF legwear. As such, they are designed for those interested in the history of the Canadian military and the World War 1 era. However, they do not come with any authenticity papers, being recent makes and not actual antiques.
